I'm surprised Squeeze wasn't nominated. Argybargy and East Side Story are both very powerful albums.

I just came back here drenched in sweat, pulse racing and choking on my own panic.

It's okay though, Talking Heads were nominated.

Mercurydylan89
The cramps
Bloc party

DBZ
Psychedelic furs
Siouxsie and the banshees

Mrfrogger
The unicorns for the stone roses

I am happy for DBZ to have these to because he didn't initially nominate and this ends the nominations. Plus these two bands are good additions and vital to the mix.

I'd actually like The Unicorns to be in more than The Strokes. Or Stone Roses. Anyways I just want to have one of my nominations be The Unicorns if I can.

Okay, hard to do this on the fly.

Lethal
Scritti politics
Specials

Mrfrogger
The stone roses
The strokes

Purple
Women
Soft moon

Dbz
Frank Ferdinand
Interpol
Mission of Burma

Drakonium
The the
The cars

4 more needed!

Post-punk revival is accepted in some ways. Bands like Bloc Party, The National and The Soft Moon are more noticeably post-punk compared to Arcade Fire. I included the Strokes as their new wave influence can be heard.

Final digression will take place tomorrow night. About 36 hours from now.

I'd love to see Bloc party Vs Gang of Four. Idk, those 2 band are connected in my head for some reason.

Same with Interpol vs Joy division or The Strokes vs Television.

This.

Interpol are definitely post-punkish, whilst Franz Ferdinand aren't too far off either.

and franz ferdinand is definitley new-wave revival. so it seems that either revivals will have to be denied or some other method like both rym and wiki have to confirm genre.

but really, who the fuck listed arcade fire as post punk?

Interpol is absolutely post punk revival. First band I thought of when that genre was mentioned.

Franz Ferdinand is fine too. So is Bloc Party.

I'd like to nominate the Beatles because they're proto-post-punk and without them there'd be no music at all, including post punk and new wave.
